Singaraja- Ganesha University of Education (Undiksha) continues to strengthen the preparation of the Creativity Program (PKM). After previously carrying out a training of trainers in August, Tuesday (10/9/2019) a discussion of the ideas proposed by students and lecturers was held.
Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Drs. I Ketut Suadiana, M.Kes explained that after the TOT which took place on August 6, 2019, there were 11 ideas submitted by 16 lecturers and 183 ideas from 207 students in various fields, such as entrepreneurship programs, community service, creative initiatives and technology application. This is appreciated, but it is considered that there is a need for improvement. It is expected to be proportional to the number of lecturers and students. “For the TOT, 104 lecturers participated. But only about 10 percent conveyed the idea. This needs to be improved,” he explained.
This idea was discussed by sources from Undiksha, namely Dr. rer. nat. Wayan Karyasa, S.Pd., M.Sc., and Dr. rer. nat. I Gusti Ngurah Agung Suryaputra, S.T.,M.Sc. Both of them provided input before it became a draft proposal and continued to guidance. “What is lacking, can be given input. So that the ideas conveyed are even better and can become PKM proposals,” he said.
Meanwhile, Vice Chancellor III Undiksha, Prof. Dr. I Wayan Suastra, M.Pd.,
said PKM has become one of the things that have received serious attention because in recent years the number of students who have passed the National Student Science Week (PIMNAS) has not met expectations. “Getting achievements in PIMNAS is one of the supporters of national university rankings. So this is very important,” he said.
Chancellor of Undiksha, Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Jampel, M.Pd., who was also present, hoped that this PKM celebration could be seriously followed up by students and lecturers so that Undiksha could compete at the national level. “This is a good step as an effort to improve performance,” he said. Working on PKM, according to him, can also collaborate between study programs. The matters raised can also adjust to the potential of the area. “There’s a lot that can be worked on. I want more lecturers and students to be involved,” he added. (hms)
